Started out with C# now went on to try C++ & <3 it more than C#. The book I've started to go through is Ivan Horton's Visual C++. Goes with VS 2010 & focuses on both C++/CLI & ISO/IEC (I believe, basically .NET Framwork & Native, correct me if I'm wrong).
But that's the problem, in every book I've came across, I would always get stuck with variables, what they are & how they work such as char. Now, int is the easiest to understand because it's just -2343543543 to 324235435. A huge number you could put in.
Is there a chance anyone could port up about all the variables & there uses or slap me in the face as you give me a resource that's already on this forum or even a resource as I'm probably the first to ask a stupid question that my brain can't comprehend???
C++/CLI is not native C++, and you don't need to use .NET methods. If you use Windows Forms application, they are by default set up with the .NET framework though I believe.
char is just a single char, but if you make a pointer to type char, you can have a char string if you wanted. Otherwise you can utilize the <string> namespace to use strings, and there's a few others that enable you to use strings as well.
What can't you comprehend about variables though? HOW FAR, have you gotten to be more specific? I can maybe help you out.
